Why

Why do you want
to be a younger man
why do you want
to do what he can
to run that fast
when he, too, wont last

Why do you need
to measure up
to bigmouth lads
who brags non stop
when you as you are
are better by far

A man has his pride
and testosterone
and terrible burdens
he carries alone
but you have a heart
I praise for my part

So come take my hand
we'll make it together
beside you I'll stand
throughout stormy weather
our hearts they can't touch
they belong to us.
